"1913 SEEDS OF CONFLICT"
Screening and Q&A discussion with the director, Ben Loeterman, co-sponsored by the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University and Harvard Hillel.

HOW THE SEEDS OF TODAY’S MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT WERE SOWN
IN PALESTINE DURING THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE

Once Arabs and Jews lived together relatively peacefully in Palestine.
How and why that changed.

Breaking new ground and shattering old myths, 1913 SEEDS OF CONFLICT, directed by award-winning filmmaker Ben Loeterman, explores the little-known history of Palestine during the latter part of the Ottoman Empire, a time of relative harmony between Arabs and Jews. How did this land of milk and honey, so diverse and rich in culture, become the site of today’s bitter and seemingly intractable struggle? Was there a turning point, a moment in time when things could have been different?

Weaving the raveled threads of Arab and Jewish narratives back together, 1913: SEEDS of CONFLICT provides new and fascinating insights into the dramatic events that took place in Palestine which set the stage for the coming century of unrest.
